My analogy does work, but I wasn't talking aobut YC, I was talking about VC. I wasn't saying the YC model was broken, I was saying the VC model is broken.

This is not an "emotionally charged" analogy, it is exatly correct. This is probably not apparent because people tend to ignore the cost of VC money.

Seems all you got is insults... great argument technique.
